P.S. STILL TRAINNED WITH KEY IN RING FINGER.
I work down at Swan Island. She was back at work the next day, the top of her hand was really bruised.
Back to work in what capacity?
Package car driving?
Only a UPS quack doctor would send her back without restrictions on an injury like that.

Actually, that method at our center was reviewed by the safety committee as unsafe in the workplace as contrary to OSHA standards for loose articles of clothing or jewelry.
As your hand is used to move package from one point to another, the key or ring has the tendency to catch on just about anything. One of the most severe would be the seam or edges of the conveyor belt. The loss of a finger is the result.
So you are very correct, the placement of the key on any finger as per methods is unsafe. Period. Better as you stated to place in pocket.

I always kept a spare bulkhead door key hidden up front.I pulled a rookie mistake yesterday, I couldn't believe I did it. I had an on demand pickup at a grade school and this was 40 minutes before they closed. I break off trace at the far end of my area, and have to face bus and parent traffic in the school parking lot. I wind up toting two 40 pound boxes of books about a thousand feet back to my P7 with no handtruck. I unlocked the bulkhead door and stuck the boxes in the back and slammed the door. At that point I couldn't find my keys, so I searched my pockets, retraced my path to the school office, and tried to pick the lock with a paper clip. I had no luck so I made a much dreaded call to the Center and told them I thought I locked the keys in the back. I have only done this once before, and that was 25 years ago. About forty minute later, I finally found them under the DIAD mount on the dash. I had looked up there, but didn't see them under the metal brace where they landed. Sometimes I throw the keys on the dash if my hands are full so I don't lock them in the back. My Center Manager pulled up with the replacement keys about a minute later, I felt very stupid.
I dont often imp[ale myself, but I woulda left it in too. To keep the bleeding to a minimum. Ick, can you see driving with that hand? Not here~!!??? who took the pic?? every time i impale myself with something i instantly yank it out,, impressive,, she was goin for the wow factor
